You’ve probably heard that celery is a "negative calorie food" — but do you know what that actually means, and why it makes celery one of the most underrated health foods on the planet? In this satisfying clip from The Dr. Gundry Podcast, heart surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry confirms it’s true: your body literally burns more calories digesting celery than it gets from eating it. But the calorie story is just the start. Dr. Gundry describes celery as essentially crunchy water packed with polyphenols — powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that feed your gut microbiome, support circulation, and deliver zero sugar and zero starch in the process. It’s one of the rare snacks that works entirely in your favor — satisfying the urge to crunch, fueling your gut buddies, and asking almost nothing in return. If you’ve been overlooking celery as a boring diet food, this Short will change your mind completely. Sometimes the most powerful health foods are hiding in plain sight.
